The Woman who married a Shrimp ยท 2024
"The Woman Who Married a Shrimp" confronts the permanent and immutable nature of blockchain technology with the ephemeral nature of a live dance performance. We experiment with inverting the principles of these realms by encoding temporary and transformative movements into a series of non-fungible tokens (NFT), while at the same time creating a choreography driven by the idea of collecting physical and digital gestures.
The dance performance unfolds simultaneously in real life (IRL) on a theater stage and online via live-stream. Both audiences are gathered for the contemporary way of "wisdom exchange" that used to happen around a campfire and now takes place between physical and digital dimensions. The project draws inspiration from an Inuit myth of the same name, in which magical and human realms intertwine, and where the act of peering through a hole in between them brings dangerous and unexpected consequences. Similarly, the performance navigates the challenges of bridging physical and digital spaces. The concepts of blockchain technology and dance choreography hold up a mirror to both audiences: What will you see when these two worlds collide and intersect?
Viewers online and in the theater are invited to reflect on new ways of coming together and to experience, each on their own premises, the common ritual of recreating and sharing the myth anew.
